LA EigaFest 2015 Full Line-Up

The full line-up for LA EigaFest, Sept 25-27, at LA LIVE Regal Cinemas, is up! I've been waiting to get the word out, I'm on the staff this year! Some of my favorite choices have to be the opening with Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends, we're the only place in the country you'll be seeing the ending on the big screen. Sion Sono's super weird, Tag about three girls who are all the same girl having a really weird day filled with death. Princess Jellyfish, based on the otaku girl anime/manga with weird fetishes ruling the lives of five girls. I'll have more info and more trailers to share with you soon.
